bMap - Change Log
Release History
- 1.0 - Initial Release
- 1.1 - Improved comments, fixed typo related bug.
- 1.2 - AJAX functions improved.
- 1.2.1 - Loading-Message-Div animation bug fixed: In some situations on some systems, the loading message was not disappear when the AJAX operations completed.
Cause: Animation queuing - considered stop() but used show() instead of fadeIn() - 1.2.2 - The sidebars have been improved lots. The marker sidebar scrolls to the selected item, and responds to clicks on map-markers (as well as map markers responding to sidebar clicks). The layer sidebar now hides the corresponding markers AND marker-sidebar elements when clicked.
- 1.2.3 - Removed an unnecessary <p> tag from the layer-sidebar code. Info-windows are automatically closed if their marker is hidden (the layer with the marker is hidden).
- 1.3 - This is the new version. It is based on 1.2.3 but requires the V3 google maps API. It is backwards compatible with code written for bMap 1.2.x
Please report any bugs - I have tested it quite a bit, but if you find any I will do my best to solve them. - 1.3.1 - Support for custom icons with the V3 API. Slightly smaller minified version

Overlay KML
Khemraj Chekhori - 7/4/2010 12:49:06 PM
Very impressive and useful work.
What about the possibility to load a KML overlay from a file or on the fly? (consider the KML overlay as Thematic layer).
Thanks and regards

I've been trying to load this with Google Maps API v3 but it is not working..I read somewhere here that you are planning to release a version compatibly with v3, is that still in the works?

Google Maps V3

I am currently testing the V3 version.
The API is quite different and I want to make the V3 version of bMap backwards compatible with the V2 version. This takes time, plust I have to incorporate the bug-fixes and updates to the V2 version too.
Watch this space.

how would you go about using the address instead of the the coordinates?

Hi,
Please go through the examples, and read the comments. I have already pointed people towards the solution of address geocoding - and explained why it is not in bMap.
Examples 2 and 3 I believe

Layers - including traffic

Hi,
If you want to extend bMap you can either work on the plugin directly, adding your own functions to wrap google features. This is useful if you want to use the sidebars that bMap produces. As demonstrated in this example:
http://www.blocsoft.com/bmap/example11.asp
However you can always just use the google API examples from the google website with a bMap managed map. This is because the "map" object itself from the google API is exposed in bMap as demonstrated in this example:
http://www.blocsoft.com/bmap/example8.asp
So if you want to have a traffic layer, use the example found here:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html
